According to court documents, Hollie Strano will be charged with DUI on November 30 in Cuyahoga Falls Mayor’s Court after being arrested and involved in a collision on Thanksgiving night.

At the time of her arrest, the WKYC meteorologist and on-air personality had a BAC of 0.244. She had also wrecked her car into a fire hydrant on Akron Peninsula Road, ending up at the Towpath Tennis Center parking lot in Akron.

The woman’s vehicle, which was doing 70 mph in a 35 mph zone, was being pursued by a cruiser, according to dashcam footage, when it veered to the right, struck a utility pole, spun, and came to a stop.

The center said on Instagram that “rushing water and mud to fill most of the parking lot” overnight were caused by the incident. According to the post, the city of Akron and others put in a lot of effort to tidy everything up in time for the center’s 43rd annual Thanksgiving Tournament the next day.

After being released to a third-party, Strano refused medical care at a nearby hospital.
